Abstract: The present invention relates to structural health and usage monitoring systems, particularly employing strain sensing means for assessment of the loading history and fatigue damage in an aircraft, vessel, structure or machinery. More specifically, the present invention relates to autonomous systems for recording, processing and assessment of the history of a variety of mechanical and environmental factors affecting structural health in a wide spectrum of applications, such as in mechanical components of a fixed wing or a rotary aircraft, civil structures, machines, windmills, gas or oil pipes and vessels including marine vessels. It also can work as a standalone or integrated sensor or recording device for use in variety of applications where its ultralow power consumption, low cost and multi-sensing capabilities can provide for accurate assessments based on neural network principles of data processing and autonomous monitoring for many years without a need for maintenance or post-processing.

Abstract: A balanced rotary cycling machine suitable for use as an internal combustion engine, compressed gas or steam engine, compressor or pump is disclosed herein. The rotor assembly consists of four articulating pistons where the opposite pistons are inter-linked with each other by pivoted rods comprising a parallelogram mechanism and therefore eliminating a need for pivots between pistons. The rotor assembly rotates inside or outside of a circular or non-circular stator depending on the configuration chosen. A variety of mechanisms for shape deformation of four piston assembly during its rotating cycle is also disclosed herein, as well as detailed descriptions of preferred embodiments, including a four cycle internal combustion engine with circular stator, marine engine with polymer parts and a four cycle automobile rotary engine with conventional oil pan. In addition, a method of operation of external rotary combustion engine, employing a high-pressure compressor and an external combustion chamber, is disclosed. This invention also teaches a novel lubrication system for rotary engine providing low emissions. The engine has few moving parts, simplified circular or semi-circular stator shape and utilizes simple and effective sealing techniques. It is fully balanced, has very low friction and heat losses and can employ a pre-designed configuration of the combustion chamber for a desired compression ratio and power output.

Abstract: An electronic battery operated and self contained acoustic guitar allowing playing back high quality prerecorded notes through its own soundboard electromechanically activated by a piezoelectric vibrating means. The guitar allows to play chords or melody with simplified fingering and provides trigger events (note ON, Off, velocity of the note played) with less than 15 ms delay. When the guitar is not powered it can be played as a normal high quality musical instrument.

Abstract: A low power consumption multi-contact micro electro-mechanical strain/displacement sensor and miniature autonomous self-contained systems for recording of stress and usage history with direct output suitable for fatigue and load spectrum analysis are provided. In aerospace applications the system can assist in prediction of fatigue of a component subject to mechanical stresses as well as in harmonizing maintenance and overhauls intervals. In alternative applications, i.e. civil structures, general machinery, marine and submarine vessels, etc., the system can autonomously record strain history, strain spectrum or maximum values of the strain over a prolonged period of time using an internal power supply or a power supply combined with an energy harvesting device. The sensor is based on MEMS technology and incorporates a micro array of flexible micro or nano-size cantilevers. The system can have extremely low power consumption while maintaining precision and temperature/humidify independence.

Abstract: A variable transmission arrangement having enhances power output and high efficiency is disclosed. The arrangement provides paired rollers positioned within retaining rotating elements for co-action with, for example, toroidal disks forming full toroidal cavity. The high efficiency is realized by minimizing spin between contracted rollers and toroidal disks. This is achieved by alignment of the rollers so that all corresponding rotational axes and lines tangential to contacting points, namely the input and output rotational axes as well as those of the rollers themselves intersect, thus minimizing spin. This relationship ensures the highest traction and reduced slip necessary for maximizing the output and power density. As many as nine pairs of wedged rollers can be used for overall ratio of 5:1 with ability to provide adequate and proportional clamping while respecting the geometric imperfections of the contacting surfaces. In a simplest configuration paired balls can be used where the balls exhibit self-alignment properties, thus minimizing the spin
